Produced by Marc D'Hooghe (Images generously made available by the Internet Archive - University of California) "Lost Diaries" by Maurice Baring is a collection of fictionalized diary entries that explores various historical and literary figures, crafted during the early 20th century. The work presents a unique blend of humor and historical commentary through the eyes of notable characters such as Iseult of Brittany, King Cophetua, and Sherlock Holmes. The book seems likely to captivate readers who enjoy inventive storytelling that combines elements of history, literature, and creative writing. The opening of "Lost Diaries" introduces a range of characters through their diary entries, starting with Smith Minor, a schoolboy detailing the trivialities of school life in 1884. He describes events like a total lunar eclipse, football matches, and the mischief among classmates, all portrayed in his youthful vernacular. Following this is the diary of Iseult of Brittany, who shares her feelings and experiences revolving around her impending marriage to Sir Tristram, contrasting expectations and societal norms of her time. Together, these entries showcase both the humor and pathos of ordinary and historically significant lives, setting a playful tone for the rest of the collection.
